2 common errors in this new version. My fault?

[AxelEurope]

Hello everyone,


I've been using Gimp (2.8) for many years and just a week ago I decided to move to the new version 2.10, I like the new design and that there's several tools that have been simplified or compacted into 1. However, I usually have 2 very common and uncomfortable bugs that didn't happen to me with the previous version.

I tried to search Online (in case it was a common problem before version 2.8 or something) for help to solve them but I didn't find anything that could help me to solve them, so I decided to register in the forum and ask for help. I hope it will help me and future users who have the same problem.

• Enter Location doesn't works.
  

No matter how many images I try, since I jumped to version 2.10 I can no longer import any images from its URL.

I always end with this error message.

• Copy + Past an exterior Image doesn't works.
  

Normally I don't have any problem (in version 2.10) in copying an image (outside of Gimp) with the simple right button > Copy Image and then paste it into Gimp and use it as I need it, this works well until after a while.... After a while if I try to paste an image that I've just finished of copying from the Internet to paste it into Gimp I only get the piece that I copied into Gimp previously. I mean, it paste a snip I made in the Gimp application.

I thought I might need to make sure I had the copied image to be ready into the clipboard, so instead of trying to copy the image directly with the right click, I decided to use a program called Lightshot (very handy for making screenshots by the way) to crop the image, copy it to the clipboard and paste it into Gimp, but I kept pasting only the last piece I'd cut out IN Gimp.

If I try to go to an online image pasting website or even a simple image editing program like Paint right after that, I'd still would work as it should (pasting the image I've just copied or cropped with Lightshot)

The latter is probably the most annoying of the two and I have no idea how to fix it.


Thanks,
Regards.

You do not give your OS but if it is Windows, the problem might be the latest installer, which has faults. Wait for an update.

In linux File -> Open Location works as: https://i.imgur.com/WUxVcgl.jpg

Clip problem might be your clipboard manager or ...

Keep an eye on the clipboard brush, that gives an indication of the current contents. https://i.imgur.com/utCQoMG.jpg

Your copy/paste problem sounds like this bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=795088
